Hey everyone!! Okay so my brother and I actually came up with the idea to this fic, I don't think it's going to be long possibly five chapter many a little longer I'm not sure yet. It isn't meant to be taken to seriously as you will probably see from that first little section when you read it this fiction isn't going to be staying sane long. I'm hoping it'll have a hint of humor to it for the reader more for my enjoyment and hopefully for yours as well, I know I'm looking forward to work on it in between my other fictions.


Chapter 1

THURSDAY MORNING OF AUGUST 14TH 2010

"I'm not crazy!"

"Don't bite at the coat Jack it's there for restriction," Zach glanced down at me worriedly.

"Don't worry little buddy we are taking you to help," Won patted Jack's head making his twisted face growl in anger. "Aww," Won said shaking his head. "I would give you an apple but I don't thin you'll very much be able to afford it where you're going…"

"R-r-Ric-" Jack shuddered his eyes popping open bigger as he shook in the jacket Harris had confined him to only half an hour ago. "Not crazy- NO! It's him HIM! You all think I'm crazy but I'm not! Oh no I'm not I-" his words mumbled into indescribable cracklings deserving Won's worried glance over to Zach and Harris who sat up on the deck.

"It's so weird," Harris said shaking his head looking at the half crazed farmer. "I've never had any trouble with him before this… but the past for months…"

"He's changed, I know." Zach finished his eyes firm on the sea in front of him. "He was so polite and a good farmer just like his Grandfather... It's like ever since that chicken died-"

"What chicken?" Harris perked up interested.

"Oh I don't know," Zach waved him off. "He seemed pretty worried about it at the time though, it was the first time I ever recall his animals dieing actually... Maybe the emotional truth to taking care of the farm was just to much for him…"

"Yeah I suppose so…" Harris nodded his eyes flicking to where Won was curiously teasing the boy below. He was just to young to go this insane… It wasn't right, nor did it make any sense...

WEDNESDAY MORNING OF APRIL 16TH 2010

"And… done! Thanks Betsy," Jack patted the cow allowing the it to move about the field freely. Standing up stiffly he raised an arm up to his brow wiping off some of the sweat. It was just the beginning of Spring yet it was as hot as a sauna setting all the members of Mineral Town off in a mood.

"I swear heat like this could kill a woman my age," Jack could recall Ellen's voice just yesterday when he'd brought flowers to Elli.

With the pale of milk in one hand and his stool in the other, he had to admit despite the heat he overall he was very pleased at his success for the day. Livestock fed and accounted for plants watered, and all before noon! Perfect.

He had taken over his grandfathers farm only three years ago, and still it seemed like the first day in Mineral Town. There was always so much to do so much around, yet nothing ever seemed to tire him.

Setting the pail in his shipment box for Zach to pick up later he disappeared into his cottage. "Hello," he gave a toothy grin to the first thing displayed inside his home. A magnificent blue feather, the finest he'd ever seen tucked sweetly into a glass vase. "I'll be needing you later now wont I?" He chuckled touching the finest of the feathers his eyes stretching with longing that he'd waited for a long time for.

Reminding himself he should be going by five he quickly hoped into the shower and prepared himself his head swimming as he did so. He put on the best of his jeans, ones never worn for work and a button up shirt smiling at the reflection in the mirror. Playing with his hair a little trying to get it right.

Unable to stall any longer on simple tasks he finally tucked the feather inside his coat pocket carefully as to not squish it, he took off out of his home early. He tried his best to slow his pace to compensate for his departure time but was hardly successful as his legs seemed to carry him faster with each excited beat of his heart.

"Hey how are you? No not formal enough…" he said nervously. He'd known Elli for three years now dated for two why was he so nervous? "You look good tonight… You look very good tonight-"

"Thanks I do try," a voice answered catching Jack off guard he looked around his eyes resting on the the girl that sat on the bench just a few buildings down.

"Er how long were you there?"

"Long enough," Karen answered thoroughly amused herself.

"Oh well I-"

"You know," she smirked standing so he could see her better. "I think this has happened before…"

"Two years ago…"

"Oh you do know?" she laughed her green eyes flickering. "Well then you should also remember I told you jeans were not formal and for the sake of all that is good in this town Jack why did you put that goop in your hair?"

"Oh well I-"

"Come here!" Karen grumbled reaching up to tassel his hair around, "now flip…" She instructed the smile on her face broadening as he listened. "Good, now I can't do much about the jeans but- Oh so you do have a belt on!"

"Karen!" Jack jumped back as her hand reached for his shirt lifting it up to reveal a brown leather belt. "I have one enough mother already!"

Karen merely rolled her eyes, "well she's not doing a very good job now is she? Pull up you're pants and use that belt properly. The shop is going to have to give you another one as a congratulations gift or something, that thing looks horrid!"

"JACK!" A new voice growled. "What do you think you are doing with my girlfriend? Are you trying to start something cause I'll-"

"Oh shut you're mouth Ricky," Karen swatted him away not even giving her boyfriend a glance. "He's about to pop the question to Elli," her hand reaching again to straighten Jack's shirt who merely grunted unhappily at her.

"Well remember keep your paws off my girl-" he'd over stepped... again. One thing Karen hated more than sober night at the bar was being controlled, and that happened to be her boyfriends specialty...

"What. Did. You. Say." Karen spun around on her heel practically butting heads with Rick. "What did I say about this? Do you not trust me? Is that it, oh I'll show you trust Ricky!"

Jack rushed almost banging on Elli's door for help as this was the last thing he needed was to deal with. At least he wasn't late…

The door opened slowly and Jack had to look down to see who it was. "Oh hi Jack!" Stu smiled.

"I DIDN'T MEAN IT KAREN REALLY!"

"Whats-"

"Nothing," Jack put his hand on Stu's head turning him around. "Nothing at all Stu."

"Hello Jack," Ellen greeted him with a warm smile a small twinkle in her eye saying just enough without the extra wink. "I wish you the best tonight-"

"Oh we aren't dieing you know," Elli bustled in with more elegance than Jack thought possible. Both hands raised to the side of her head trying to latch a necklace. "Oh Jack you're always so prompt, sorry I'm-"

"It's alright," Jack smiled making his way over to her taking the necklace latch in his own fingers helping her.

"Oh-" Elli's cheeks flushed as she lowered her hands slowly. "Thank you Jack."

"Your welcome," Jack smiled almost not wanting to move another inch, having her so close to him he could smell her perfume he-

"You ready then?" she asked.

"Oh yes," Jacked replied taking Elli's outstretched hand in his fingers shaking slightly out of nerves. Making Ellen hold in on her chuckles.

"We'll be back around-" Elli started but her grandmother waved her off.

"You two have fun alright?" Ellen smiled and has Elli turned with her thanks Jack mouthed his thanks her approval meant a lot.

* * * * * * *

"This was perfect Jack thank you," Elli smiled her eyes close to her boyfriends. Both lay on a carefully outstretched blanket at the very top of Mothers Hill. It was the perfect night, the sky was clear and each star sparkled in the most perfect way, the Goddess seemed to smile down on them herself.

After a picnic dinner the two had settled down next to each other watching the sky. "Elli somethings been on my mind," Jack sat up looking as his girlfriends face which turned from peaceful to worried in one second.

"Okay," she replied sitting up slowly herself.

"Right there," Jack pointed to a small boulder sitting right in the moons light. "Can you tell me what is?"

Elli's face softened the worry fading, "are you implying more than it being a rock?" she asked.

Jack's grin grew wider, "yes."

This made Elli laugh softly, "that's where you first kissed me.."

"Bulls-eye," Jack chuckled.

"Whats been on your mind about it?"

"I'm forgetting how it happened…" he smiled softly to show is wasn't actually going senile his hand making it's way forward just enough to touch hers.

"Oh? Then maybe you need a little reminder?"

Jack smiled nodding he slowly stood up holding out his hand for her. "It was two months into our relationship," he told her. "Work had been hard on you lately and I'd been working on cutting some wood for Gotz when I saw you come up here."

Elli giggled sitting on the rock her legs crossing, "it was a bright afternoon after a light rain shower, and you followed me up here. You comforted me…"

"That's right," Jack smiled standing next to the rock looking down at her face. "I said I hated to see you not smiling… you said you weren't sure if there was much to smile for anymore…"

"You told me I was wrong there was one thing that would always care for me and the you ki-" Elli wasn't able to finish the sentence as Jack leaned down taking her hand pressing his lips gently to hers just like their first one. He pulled away just enough for her to think that he was done before replacing his lips to hers, her hands coming up to reach into his hair his own wrapping around her back.

He didn't know how much time had went by as they stayed like this but he knew he didn't want it to end. One poke from a certain feather in his pocket though was enough of a reminder. Slowly his lips moved to her cheek down her neck his on hand slowly trailing down her leg to his own coat pocket while his knees slowly bent.

"Elli?" he asked holding out the feather his lips leaving her her eyes opening. "Will you marry me?"
